DESCRIPTION
The Apaneca-Ilamatepec region is a beautiful expanse of volcanoes, swathes of forests, protected wilderness, and coffee farms. The soils are rich with volcanic material and the numerous ecosystems house a diverse array of flora and fauna.
This pristine region is home to Finca Palin, the third generation coffee farm owned and managed by Carolina Padilla outside of the town of Tacuba. The farm was first acquired in the early 1900's and was passed down from generation to generation. Carolina's father passed away in 2010, and she delved deep into the world of coffee - utilising both her family’s traditional practices in addition to new modern processing methods. The coffee trees are surrounded by citrus trees such as limes and oranges, and teak trees for wood, helping promote higher quality coffee production whilst also diversifying income.

This bourbon, icatu, marsellesa variety is naturally fermented. It is washed with spring water to remove any remaining mucilage and then sun-dried on clay patios. Clay is used in this region to dry coffee because it enables an even distribution of heat to ensure a more stable drying process.
